How many times has this episode been shown? I've only seen it like once, they really should show it again. By now Santa should upgrade to Stantler instead of Rapidash

They only showed this episode once in the U.S. (Holiday season 1999). The reason for that is that many people think that Jynx is a stereo-type of African Americans. That is the reason why they only showed this once.

Actually, it was shown at least twice, I know that for a fact. I was able to get this one on tape and it avoided being taped over somehow, so now I'm pretty proud to have one of the unnoficial banned episodes, even though I'm pretty sure you can still buy it. Really it wasn't a very good episode though. I mean, the whole christmas thing was all good, but I just never really liked the actual episode too much. I always thought it was confusing how TR were just randomly in that big castle up on the cliff for no apperent reason. The introduction of Lapras was kinda cool, and it was amusing how Jynx was always trying to kiss Brock.

I just watched this episode the other day to put myself in the Christmas mood. It's so weird now, after watching season seven for so long, to hear Ash when his voice was an octave higher. Anyway, I really like this episode because it's so different from the norm, and it's a chance for Team Rocket to shine (when they're not being badniks, of course), which is so rare nowadays. I like the end when jynx gives them the sweet kiss too. This is definitely a great episode for the holidays.

I remember the joy I felt when this episode aired. I always thougth Jynx was so awesome after seeing her on the pokerap. I was like Whoa that pokemon is so cool. Jynx's kiss knocked the pokemon out which was awesome. I liked the way she used her psychci powers to show them memories and such. This episode also explained Jynx's part ice type, they come from the North Pole! Santa Claus was great add in too.

A Championship BattleFINISHED: Johto's top psychic trainer and the granddaughter of an Elite Four member go head to head for the Silver Cup championship. Features underused pokemon including Tropius, Slowking, and my personal favorite, Jynx

This story is too fleshed out and completed in my head for me not to finish it. I'm determined to finish my first real, fleshed out fiction. And I'll wait until it's done before posting it. Chapters 6/18.

i have seen this episode in both english and japanese. i like this episode. they dont show many episodes with jynx in it. to bad too it would be nice seeing jynx again. how many appearcns has jynx made in the us? i think about 1 or 2. sad isnt it? this episode was pretty good ^^ but yet confusing

This episode and "Snow Way Out" were originally scheduled to air earlier in season one, but were delayed due to the seizure episode "Electric Soldier Porygon", which took the show off the air for four months in Japan, past the Christmas season. At least it's nice watching them in the midst of Charizard being a jerk, and we get to see what a nice little charmander he was once.

I am very good at remembering dates and they definetly DID show this episode more than one.

On Wed July 26, 2000 Kids WB reran this episode, I remember watching it that day.

This episode is still avalible on the Video/DVD The Pokecorral

And the reason why Ash stil has Charmander and Misty doesn't have Togepi yet is because this episode actually takes place just before the episode "Pikachu's Goodbye", but the problems with the episode "Electric Hero Porygon" (when the epsiode gave kids cezures) caused this episode and the other episode "Snow Way Out" to be delayed to Epsiodes 65/66.

I also really liked this episode because I thought it was funny that Team Rocket tied up Santa Claus and tried to rob his presents.
